Acqua Fiorentina by CREED Helps Fight Breast Cancer

1 in every 8 women you know will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, so for the last 25 years, October has served as Breast Cancer Awareness Month - dedicated to education and increased access to information & screening. Inspired by the brave survivors of this insidious disease, Acqua Fiorentina from the House of CREED is the vibrant pink of a colorful carnation or radiant rose...and especially of health.

As the world’s only privately held luxury fragrance dynasty, CREED has and passed from father (currently Olivier CREED) to son (Erwin CREED) for seven generations. Since it was founded in 1760, CREED has served more than 10 royal houses; numerous perfumes have been created for and worn by hundreds of the most illustrious figures of the modern era including Winston Churchill, Princess Grace of Monaco, Cary Grant,
Audrey Hepburn and Aristotle Onassis, and First Ladies Michelle Obama, Laura Bush, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

CREED Acqua Fiorentina is handmade with flowers and fruits from the orchards and gardens around Florence. Greengage plum is the tour de force top note. Renaissance roses, pink carnations, brilliant bergamot and Calabrian lemon are at its beating heart. Warm base notes of Virginia cedar and Indian sandalwood are the gilded frame for this work of fragrant art… and hope. During October, a portion of the proceeds from US sales of the fragrance will support the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund.
